Background: Direct Laryngoscopy and intubation lead to extensive stress response and sympathetic stimulation in the body which can be critical for some patient subsets like cardiac ischemia, raised intracranial tension, cerebral aneurysm, open globe injury, glaucoma etc. Hence reduction of the intense stress response is of utmost importance for a stable and safe hemodynamics in those patients. Aims and Objectives: 1. To find out the hemodynamic stress response exerted by the Macintosh blade and McCoy blade. 2. To compare the hemodynamic stress responses between the two blades. Materials and Methods: In this study we had selected 60(male and female in equal number) ASA grade-1 and grade- 2 patients posted for elective general surgery. They were randomly divided into two groups - group 1(laryngoscopy done by McCoy blade)and group 2(laryngoscopy done by Macintosh blade). Systolic Blood Pressure, Diastolic Blood Pressure , Mean Blood Pressure and Heart Rate were recorded before and after anaesthesia induction, just after intubation and one, three and six minutes after orotracheal intubation. Results: The results were compared over time between the two groups. Mean values of Systolic Blood Pressure, Diastolic Blood Pressure, Mean Blood Pressure and heart rate were significantly higher in group 2 as compared to group 1(with p values as 0.009, 0.008, 00.004 and 0.000 respectively). Conclusion: Thus we conclude that the stress response was significantly higher when laryngoscopy was done with Macintosh blade as compared with McCoy blade. We would also like to stress that the art of laryngoscopy should just not be mastered but all anaesthesiologists should think of and practise techniques which would make laryngoscopy smooth and less stressful for our patients. Intubation with McCoy laryngoscope blade is one such technique.

Background: Hemodynamic change takes place during procedures like laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation due to reflex sympathetic discharge caused by epipharyngeal and laryngopharyngeal stimulation before a surgery under general anesthesia. Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of oral clonidine and intravenous lignocaine as premedicant to obtund the stress response due to such mandatory maneuvers. Materials and Methods: A prospective, randomized, double-blind, double dummy-controlled study was undertaken for 11 months at a tertiary care hospital in the eastern part of India. A total (n=100) patient aged 30 to 50 years of either sex with ASA I and II waiting for elective abdominal surgery were randomized into two equal groups. Group C (n=50) received (4μg/kg) of oral clonidine 90 minute before laryngoscopy and Group L (n=50) received 1.5 mg/kg lignocaine 3 minute before laryngoscopy as active drugs and appropriate placebos were administered as double dummy technique. Comparable demographic and baseline parameters like heart rate, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were recorded at various time intervals. Similar anesthesia technique applied was in both the study arm. Result: Attenuation of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate and mean arterial pressure was statistically highly significant (p<0.0001) more in Group C as compared to Group L within first vital 10 minutes of intubation. Conclusion: Oral clonidine attenuates the stress response better than intravenous lignocaine during laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation with minimum adverse effects.

BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of intravenous lignocaine 1.5 mg / kg & intravenous dexmedetomidine 1 mcg / kg for attenuating the haemodynamic response to laryngoscopy & endotracheal intubation in patients undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia. METHODS In this prospective randomised, comparative, clinical study, 60 patients were randomly divided into 2 groups, among them 30 patients were given infusion of 1.5 mg / kg IV lignocaine, diluted to 10 ml with normal saline, 3 minutes before intubation & 30 patients were given infusion of dexmedetomidine 1 mcg / kg diluted to 25 ml in normal saline over 10 minutes through infusion pump before induction. The heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, rate pressure product, oxygen saturation were measured at baseline, after study drug intubation at L + 1, L + 3, L + 5, L + 7 & L + 10 (L is onset of laryngoscopy). Statistical analysis was done by using descriptive & inferential statistics using chisquare test, Students paired & unpaired t test to find out the significance of the five variables namely mean heart rate (HR), mean systolic blood pressure (SBP), mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and mean rate pressure product (RPP). RESULTS Dexmedetomidine provided better blunting of stress response during laryngoscopy and intubation without causing clinically significant respiratory depression, bradycardia or hypotension. It is better in achieving a low RPP, which is a good predictor of myocardial oxygen consumption. Dexmedetomidine provides better cardio-protection in patients against pressure response than lignocaine. CONCLUSIONS In these 60 patients, dexmedetomidine (1 mcg / kg) was found to be superior to lignocaine (1.5 mg / kg) for attenuation of pressor response.

This study was designed to determine if visualization of anger- and fear-provoking scenes produced differential physiological patterns similar to those produced by in vivo manipulations. Normotensive college students were selected on the basis of their responses to newly developed Anger and Fear/Anxiety questionnaires and for their ability to construct arousing scenes during a screening interview. In a 2 × 2 design (intensity × emotion), four scenes (high and low anger, high and low fear) were constructed individually for each of 16 subjects to imagine. Diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, and heart rate were monitored during visualization of each scene. Change in diastolic blood pressure was significantly greater for high anger than for high fear as predicted. Analysis of change in heart rate and systolic blood pressure showed significant effects for intensity only. These results provide further support for the concept of physiological differentiation in human emotion and suggest the utility of imagery for systematic study of human emotional responding.

Administration of a single propofol bolus dose for anesthesia induction causes hypotension. We included 160 patients (74 males and 86 females; mean age, 42.4 ± 10.7 [range: 18–60] years) with the American Society of Anesthesiologists status I–II undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia. Using simple randomization, the patients were divided into a conventional group ( n = 80; received 2 mg/kg propofol at a rate of 250 mg/min) and titrated group ( n = 80; received propofol at a rate of 1 mg/kg/min until the Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation scale score reached 1 point). Fentanyl (4 µg/kg) and cisatracurium (0.2 mg/kg) were administered, as appropriate. Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean blood pressure, and heart rate were recorded at different time points. Propofol consumption, hypotension, and other adverse events were recorded. All the patients were intubated without awareness. Compared with the conventional group, the titrated group showed more stable blood pressure ( p < 0.05), as well as a lower decrease in systolic blood pressure, mean blood pressure at 1 and 3 min, and diastolic blood pressure at 1 min after propofol administration ( p < 0.01). Moreover, compared with the conventional group, the titrated group showed a lower post-intubation hypotension incidence (9 vs. 19 cases; p = 0.04), as well as lower total propofol dosage and propofol dose per kilogram of body weight (93.57 ± 14.40 mg vs. 116.80 ± 22.37 mg and 1.73 ± 0.27 mg/kg vs. 2.02 ± 0.08 mg/kg, respectively, p < 0.01). Compared with conventional propofol usage, titrated propofol administration can reduce the incidence of hypotension and propofol consumption during anesthesia induction.

Introduction: Acute coronary syndrome remains as one of the most important causes for morbidity and mortality in developed countries. Therefore, evidence-based management strategy is required to offset the loss of health during an acute coronary syndrome. An effective approach includes both medical and surgical methods. This study was conducted to evaluate the medical method of management. Objective: To study blood pressure and heart rate variability after administration of Ivabradine or metoprolol in cases with acute coronary syndrome. Materials and methods: The study was a Prospective single center observational study conducted in patients attending Cardiology Intensive Care Unit in Nayyar Heart and Superspecialty Hospital, a tertiary care centre located in an urban area. All patients with Acute coronary syndrome admitted to the emergency or cardiac care unit were analysed with ECG as a preliminary diagnostic test and confirmed with troponin markers. They were either given Ivabradine or Metoprolol. Baseline evaluation and follow up was done and necessary data was collected and analysed.   Results: 100 patients were included in the study out of which 50 were given Metoprolol (Group A) and 50 were given Ivabradine (Group B). Themean age of studied cases was found to be 66.54 years in group A and 68.69 years in group B. It was observed that there was a fall in heart rate by 26.8 beats per minute with beta blocker and 24.4 beats per minute with Ivabradine. In case of blood pressure measurement, in patients with beta blocker administration, there was a fall of 25 mm Hg in systolic blood pressure and 17 mm Hg in diastolic blood pressure However, with Ivabradine there was only a fall of 8mm Hg in systolic Blood pressure and 6 mm Hg in diastolic blood pressure. Conclusion: Although Metoprolol is the drug of choice to decrease heart rate and blood pressure in acute coronary syndrome, Ivabradine is being increasingly used in cases where beta blockers are contraindicated as it has similar efficacy in lowering heart rate without compromising contractility of cardiac muscle, thereby maintaining LVEF and blood pressure. Keywords: Acute coronary syndrome, Beta Blockers, Metoprolol, Ivabradine.

Background: Blood pressure of ischemic stroke patients is a potentially modifiable clinical prognostic factor during acute period. However, BP changes dynamically over time and its temporal variation during acute stage has not received much attention. Methods: From a total of 3795 acute ischemic stroke patients who arrived within 24 hours after onset, we selected 2723 eligible patients who had more than 5 systolic blood pressure (SBP) measurements during 24 hours after arrival. To predict group SBPs for 8 time-points during the first 24 hours, a measured SBP reading was imputed to the nearest missing point. Trajectory grouping of acute stroke patients was estimated using PROC TRAJ, with delta BIC and prespecified modeling parameters. Early neurological deterioration (END) was captured during admission and recurrent vascular events was collected through a structured telephone interview at 1 years after. Results: Of the included cases, mean age at onset was 68 ± 13 year-old. NIHSS score at arrival was median 4 [2, 10] and recanalization treatment was done in 598 (22%). Hypertension was diagnosed in 1930 (71%). Based on 48,445 SBP readings during the first 24 hours after arrival, stroke cases were grouped into 5 distinct SBP trajectories as shown in the Figure: Group 1 (low BP), 17%; Group 2 (stable BP), 41%; Group 3 (rapidly stabilized SBP), 11%; Group 4 (higher SBP), 23%; Group 5 (extremely high SBP without stabilization), 8%. Trajectory grouping was independently associated with END and recurrent vascular events (see Figure). Group 1 had low odds of having END (adjusted OR [95% CI]; 0.62 [0.44-0.87], but Group 4 and 5 showed higher probability of having END (1.34 [1.04-1.73] and 1.76 [1.22-2.51]) and recurrent vascular events until 1 year (1.28 [1.00-1.64] and 1.82 [1.29-2.55]). However, Group 3 had comparable risks with Group 2. Conclusion: It was documented that SBP may successfully grouped into distinct trajectories, which are associated with outcomes after stroke.

Abstract Background We aimed to evaluate a modified endotracheal tube containing upper and lower balloons for anesthetic administration among patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods Ninety patients scheduled to undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly allocated to 3 equal groups: group A (conventional tracheal intubation without endotracheal anesthesia); B (conventional tracheal intubation with endotracheal anesthesia); and C (tracheal intubation using a modified catheter under study). Blood pressure, heart rate, angiotensin II level, blood glucose level, airway pressure before anesthesia (T1) were measured immediately after intubation (T2), 5 min after intubation (T3), and immediately after extubation (T4). The post-extubation pain experienced was evaluated using the Wong-Baker Face Pain scale. Adverse reactions within 30 min after extubation were recorded. Results Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, angiotensin II, and blood sugar level in group C at T2, T3 and T4, and heart rate at T2 and T4 were significantly lower than those in group A (P < 0.05); systolic blood pressure and blood sugar at T4, and angiotensin II levels at T2, T3, and T4 were significantly lower than those in group B (P < 0.05). Patients in group C reported the lowest post-extubation pain (P < 0.05 vs. Group A), and the lowest incidence of adverse events such as nausea, vomiting, and sore throat than that in groups A and B (P < 0.05). Conclusion The modified endotracheal anesthesia tube under study is effective in reducing cardiovascular and tracheal stress response, and increasing patient comfort, without inducing an increase in airway resistance. Trial registration The clinical trial was retrospectively registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry with the Registration Number ChiCTR1900020832 at January 20th 2019.

Background: The ideal method to prevent hypotension due to intravenous propofol for induction of anesthesia is still debatable. The aim of the study was to compare the hemodynamic response of ephedrine and volume loading with ringer lactate in preventing the hypotension caused by propofol as inducing agent in patients scheduled for elective surgeries requiring general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation.Methods: This was prospective randomized study conducted in 40 patients of ASA physical status I, aged 20-50 years, scheduled for elective surgeries requiring general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. Group I received intravenous ephedrine sulphate (70 mcg/kg) just before induction of anaesthesia, and patients assigned to Group II received preloading with Ringer's lactate (12 ml/kg) over the 10-15 minutes before the administration of propofol. The variables compared were heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure following induction of anesthesia till 10 minutes after intubation of trachea.Results: We found that there were increase in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure after induction in both the groups but the difference between the groups was not significant. The increase in heart rate was found to be significantly higher in ephedrine group in comparison to volume loading group.Conclusion: Our study showed that both the methods used were equally effective in preventing hypotension induced by propofol in the adult ASA physical status I patients requiring general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. However, the heart rate was significantly higher in patients receiving ephedrine in comparison to volume loading group.
